Many of the illustrations are also problematic. Sun begins, "Earth circles the Sun," but Earth's orbit around the Sun is elliptical, not circular. Not all meteoroids burn up. A hefty price tag for little substance.(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. For example, in Earth, a sentence reads, "The Moon causes tides," but the accompanying photograph shows the Moon shining down on giraffes with no water in sight. From School Library Journal K-Gr 2-These books contain 10 simple declarative sentences each (e.g., "The Sun is a Star." and "Light travels very fast."). . Those that pass through the Earth's atmosphere are termed meteorites. No redistribution permitted.
